ARRIS and Axerra Networks Enable Cable Operators to Address the
Corporate Market with Advanced Commercial Services Solution
Full-Featured, Working Solution on Display at the NCTA National
Show, April 3-5 in San Francisco SUWANEE, Ga. and BOCA RATON, Fla.,
April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS), a leading
provider of broadband access, delivery, and management solutions,
and Axerra Networks, "The Pseudo-Wire Company(TM)" and the leader
in providing circuit emulation and service emulation solutions over
packet access networks, today announced a working solution that
gives cable operators and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) the
ability to serve the lucrative corporate market for voice and data
services over hybrid fiber/coax (HFC). The solution enables
full-featured, carrier-grade voice and data services to be offered
from cable operators' existing HFC infrastructures. In addition,
the solution enables MSOs to penetrate the wireless backhaul market
by providing an alternative to T1 leased lines in the Radio Access
Network. The solution combines the capabilities of Axerra's family
of AXN Pseudo- Wire Gateways and Access Devices(TM) with the DOCSIS
and Euro-DOCSIS capabilities provided by the ARRIS Cadant(R) family
of Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTSs). The combined solution
enables cable operators to deliver the revenue-generating services
for which corporations have traditionally paid telecom carriers,
including T1 and E1 leased lines, full-featured voice connections
to the public-switched telephone network, Frame Relay, a range of
Layer 2 VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) including Transparent LAN
services (TLS), and even cell-site backhaul service for
mobile/wireless operators. The ability to combine the ARRIS CMTS
product line with Axerra's expertise in circuit emulation and
service emulation means that cable providers can expand beyond the
residential market and meet the growing demands for new and
advanced services for commercial customers. "Combining ARRIS' CMTS
solutions with Axerra's pseudo-wire technology empowers cable
operators to compete with telecom carriers by enabling them to
offer a full portfolio of voice and data services to business
customers," said Stephen R. Jolley, VP Marketing & Business
Development for ARRIS TeleWire Supply. "Cable operators can now
offer full-featured TDM voice services, legacy data services, such
as Frame Relay, and exciting new Ethernet VPN services," said Gil
Brian, Founder, President and CEO of Axerra Networks. "With ARRIS'
advanced DOCSIS technology and the power of our pseudo-wire
solution, all of these services can be provided from operators'
existing cable networks without costly infrastructure changes."
Axerra Networks' family of AXN Pseudo-Wire Gateways and Access
Devices(TM) furnish full-service capabilities over the HFC and
fiber infrastructure of cable networks, including leased line T1
PCM Voice, T1 Private Line Data, native Frame Relay, ATM, HDLC,
integrated voice and data T1 service, and virtual private Ethernet
and IP services. The AXN family is a scalable solution that
addresses SMB locations and cell sites, MTU and Hubs, and the
carrier-class CO environment. ARRIS continues to lead the market in
DOCSIS 2.0-qualified solutions for cable operators worldwide with
both a chassis and a compact CMTS. The Cadant(R) C4(TM) CMTS is a
carrier-grade edge router/CMTS that delivers the industry's highest
levels of performance in terms of capacity, density, throughput,
and availability. In addition, the ARRIS Cadant C3(TM) CMTS is a
compact, low-cost CMTS that enables operators to easily add
commercial services in markets where residential data solutions
already exist. Extensive testing by the two companies in live cable
operator networks has validated the performance and integrity of
the overall solution. Axerra Networks' pseudo-wire solution
demonstrated its ability to control latency, jitter, and packet
loss, yielding extremely low bit-error rates and meeting the
requirements for reliable service delivery. The low latency and
high- precision clock recovery features of Axerra's pseudo-wire
solution support the most demanding applications of the T1
Commercial Services and Mobile Wireless Backhaul markets. ARRIS and
Axerra are demonstrating the combined commercial services solution
in the ARRIS booth (#5452) at the NCTA National Show in San
Francisco, Calif, April 3-5, 2005. About ARRIS ARRIS provides
